Heather jives to judging success - April 4 2007
Heather Mills wowed the judges again on Dancing With The Stars after taking to the floor with a brand new leg.

Paul McCartney’s estranged wife had a more flexible prosthetic leg fitted for this week’s performance.

The 39-year-old danced an energetic jive with partner Jonathan Roberts and the judges declared it "fantastic".

Beforehand, Heather said she was "terrified" of her routine as the camera showed her being fitted with the new leg.

"I feel a bit like Frankenstein," she confided. "You try and hop on a leg that’s like concrete and the other leg bounces up and down like a trampoline."

But after watching her dance, judge Bruno Tonioli called her "the incredible Heather Mills", adding: "One, two three legs, I don’t care how many - you did a fantastic job."

And fellow judge Carrie Ann Inaba said: "That was fantastic. You add difficulty where you don’t need to because you are so good."

British judge Len Goodman added: "If you can do the jive you can do any of these dances. It was a great job."

Heather scored 24 points out of 30 - putting her in joint first place at the end of last night’s programme.

Tonight, she will face the public vote for the first time in the results show. In the show, broadcast on the ABC network, the scoring is divided equally between the judges’ scores and the viewer votes.

The couple with the lowest combined score will be eliminated from the competition.

Heather avoids affair rumours - April 1 2007
Heather Mills has revealed she asked for a gay dance partner on the US version of Strictly Come Dancing - Dancing With The Stars - so she could avoid more rumours about affairs.

The 39-year-old, who split from husband Sir Paul McCartney last May, also admitted she had been celibate for 10 months, the Daily Mirror reports.

Heather told chat show host Jimmy Kimmel: "I asked for a gay dancing partner as I’ve had all these rumours of all these different lovers and none of the enjoyment because I haven’t had any for 10 months."

The former model, who lost a leg in a motorbike accident, has wowed judges and fans with her energetic dance moves on the show.

She was spotted in Beverly Hills yesterday taking her prosthetic legs for adjustment, so they can suit different shoes and dance routines she performs with partner Jonathan Edwards.

She said although she hadn’t had any problems with her false leg so far, she was worried about next week’s jive.

"You try to hop on the fake leg and it’s like hopping on concrete. The other bounces up and down like a trampoline."

Her participation in the show has seen its internet message boards flooded with both abusive and supportive messages.

But voters at home seemed to have followed the judges’ lead and kept 38-year-old Heather in the contest.

Biography

Heather Mills has definitely got one hell of a story, she was born in 1968, her mother left the family home when she nine, leaving Heather to care for her siblings under the watchful eye of an abusive father. Heather ran away from home at thirteen and found herself homeless, living under Waterloo arches for four months.

She was eventually "discovered" and started modelling, it wasn’t long after that at the age of 22, that she moved to Northern Yugoslavia, now Slovenia, for a holiday and eventually ended up moving there to build a new life and become a ski instructor. Whilst out there she witnessed the outbreak of civil war and the effect it had on many of her friends. On her return to England she set up a refugee crisis centre, funded by the modelling work that she was still doing, she continued her charity work over the next two years when tragedy struck, on a visit to the UK.

In August 1993, Heather was involved in a road accident with a police motorcycle. Her injuries included crushed ribs, a punctured lung, and multiple fractures of the pelvis and the loss of her left leg below the knee. Realising her modelling career would now possibly be over, she summoned the press into her hospital room and sold her story.

Through the adjustment of returning to ’normal’ life with one leg, Heather found a practical problem that she felt she could solve. Her residual limb, or stump as she prefers to call it, was fitted with an artificial limb. But due to the nature of the wound changing in shape and size, the prosthetic leg had to be continually replaced, whilst the old leg would be discarded. Heather realised that if the redundant prosthesis would never find another use, there must be literally thousands out there just waiting for a new home. With her experiences in the former Yugoslavia, Heather knew that these redundant limbs would be more than welcome in areas such as the Former Yugoslavia.

Heather instigated a nation-wide appeal for the donation of unwanted prostheses, and then employed the services of the inmates at Brixton prison to dismantle the limbs and make them ready for transport. October 1994, just a year after her accident, the first convoy of artificial limbs and medical equipment left for Zargreb. Arriving at the Institute of Prosthetics in Zargreb the limbs were now ready to be fitted. Over 22,000 amputees and victims of land-mine explosions have been helped since the first Convoy left the U.K.

It was not long after that at the young age of 25 that Heather wrote her biography, whilst most 25 year olds could hardly fill a chapter, Heather had a real story to tell. ’Out on a Limb’ landed straight onto The Times’ best-seller list as well as appearing in the 1997 Reader’s Digest Best non-fiction compilation. The proceeds from the book go to raising money for child amputee war victim’s world-wide (although the most publicised are in the Former Yugoslavia). All Heather’s charity work has funded from her own pocket.

Heather has been given many accolades and awards for her work for charity. Former Prime Minister John Major presented her with the Gold Award for Outstanding Achievement; The Times presented her with their Human Achievement Award, and the British Chamber of Commerce not only named her Outstanding Young Person of the Year, but also named an award after her - the Heather Mills Award. If this was not enough, in 1996 she received a nomination for The Nobel Prize and has since received the 1999 "People of the Year Award", The "Cosmopolitan Woman of Achievement 2000 Award", The "Pantene Spirit of Beauty Award" and the "Woman of the Year" by the Blue Drop Group in Sicily as well as lots more.

Heather collected the "REDBROOK Mother & Shakers Award", presented by Hillary Clinton, and she received the Victory Award hosted by the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington DC.

If that was not enough, Heather has also done a lot of TV work presenting for programmes such as That’s Esther.

In her personal life, she found temporary happiness with ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney. Despite some rather obvious objections from Paul’s daughter Stella, the couple married in 2002 and had a daughter together.

In 2006 both Paul and Heather made a joint statement confirming their separation, after Paul McCartney filed for divorce, citing ‘unreasonable behaviour’. What has followed has been a media storm, with Heather at the heart of the controversy.

The main allegations is that she merely married Sir Paul for his money and fame, with British papers suggesting that this could be the biggest divorce settlement ever witnessed. Heather has always denied the allegation of being a ‘gold digger’, claiming that the separation and process of divorce is ‘worse than losing my leg’.

Alongside her threat to sue national papers over ‘false, damaging and immensely upsetting’ reports about the divorce, it has also been reported that Heather has received death threats since splitting with her husband.

In January 2003, a settlement was announced between the two parties, believed to amount to £32 million, plus a gagging order.
